I was informed yesterday that I received the four year scholarship,and found out today it was to my number one choice Embry riddle !

I just had a few questions hopefully someone could answer...

As far as the medical examination is concerned, does the dodmerb examination I did for the naval academy count towards nrotc as well?

Also how strict is the choice of major on my scholarship?

As a Marine Option they will not care about your major, at least that was true 2 years ago. However, you still need "permission" to change it and you must still graduate in 4 years, so you cannot change it willy-nilly. You will find that each semester you will complete a plan showing the courses you plan to take each semester through your 4 years of college and once you start down one path it can be difficult to change paths and still graduate in 4 years... but you'll have the opportunity to show them how you plan to do it if it comes to that.

Great point kinnem. Very true. My DS has to review his 4-year plan with his PMO every semester. DS changed majors after three semesters and had to "have permission." The response he received (per my son): "Approved as long as you complete in the alloted 4 years (8 semesters)" It was kind of a no brainer but your point is a good one. I guess there was an approval process.
